What is a Sweatshop Good?

Any good manufactured in a condition that violates core labor standards is a sweatshop good.

  • The right to associate, organize and bargain collectively;
  • The right to work free from forced or child labor; and
  • The right to have acceptable conditions of work in terms of wages, safety and health standards, and hours of work.
Call your U.S. Representative and Senators and urge them to support the Decent Working Conditions and Fair Competition Act (S. 367 & H.R. 1992)
